"The second part of the exam is the sight translation component. The document you
will translate is from ENGLISH to Spanish. In the actual test, you will have one
minute to review the document and four minutes to render the translation into
Spanish. This mode is timed during the actual test, so you may wish to use a timer
during this practice test.
|
|
|
When rendering your translation, if you come across a word or phrase with which
you are unfamiliar or that you’ve forgotten, rather than spending too much time on
it, just read it in the language in which it is written and continue your
translation where you can.
|
|
|
Please pause the recording and turn to the English to Spanish Sight Translation in
your Interpreter Test Preparation Materials. Translate the text, using the timing
limits stated previously, and then resume the recording."

BACK INJURIES
|
|
|
Most back injuries are sprains and strains from lifting, lowering, carrying,
pushing and pulling materials. You are at risk of low-back injury if you must
twist while carrying heavy loads, if you work bent over a lot, or if you stay
in other awkward postures.
|
|
The best way to protect yourself from back injury is by changing how work is done.
- Do warm-up exercises before work to reduce muscle injuries.
- Cut down on carrying. Have materials delivered close to where they will
be used.
- Try to store materials at waist height.
- Make sure floors and walkways are clear and dry. Slips and trips are a big
cause of back injuries.
- Use carts, dollies, forklifts, and hoists to move materials, not your back.
- If materials weigh more than about 50 pounds, do not lift them by yourself.
- Get help from another worker or use a cart.
- When you pick up materials off the ground, try supporting yourself by leaning
on something while lifting. Don’t bend over; instead, kneel on one knee and
pull the load up onto your other knee before standing. (Wear kneepads when
you kneel.)
|
|
|
Some companies have workers wear back belts. Back belts may help someone recovering
from a back injury, but there is not much evidence they can prevent injuries. Back
belts should never be used as a substitute for a safe work environment.
